If someone is experiencing symptoms of heatstroke (e.g., high body temperature, confusion, hot/dry skin), what is the immediate priority in first aid?

A Give them sips of a sugary drink.
B Move them to a cooler environment and begin cooling their body.
C Encourage them to walk around to improve circulation.
D Apply pressure to their forehead to reduce headache.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Heatstroke is a medical emergency where the body's cooling system fails. The immediate priority is to rapidly lower the person's body temperature by moving them to a cooler place, applying cool, wet cloths, fanning them, or immersing them in cool water, while also calling for emergency medical help.
